My friend is home
I took yesterday off to cook for my friend who is married to a pastor/missionary to India; I've known her 11 years now, she is the salt of the earth, do anything for you type and she would have cooked me a banquet without batting an eye. Me, I huffed and puffed and got tired out fixing a few things for her... I was glad to do it, but didn't get all the food made that I wanted to. I fried chicken (real southern style, dipped in buttermilk and seasoned flour), oven fried some more chicken, the put barbecue sauce on it, made fresh green beans with pork to flavor (southern style), made a pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling, some rice with peas, herbs and mushrooms, and made a huge pan of mac and cheese (four pounds of cheese). I wanted to make some whole wheat yeast rolls and cookies as well, but I got too tired/fatigued after standing over that stove frying the chicken... I was a puddle of exhaustion, there was nothing left. I was disappointed in myself that I didn't get it all prepared; to top it all off, I was heading to bed at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, completely beat! My hubby delivered the food for me (about 1-1/2 hours round-trip in rush hour traffic)...
I got to talk to her this morning; man, it will take quite awhile to get caught up on all the news again. I may be going out there Friday afternoon for tea and cookies, and a nice long chat...
